Cameras, Sand, and Water, oh my!!!

[Sharon Kay]

I have a Rebel XTi....Wolf Camera manager told me since I had an extended warranty my camera would be covered...however...that I would have to send it in for cleaning after I had it at the beach no matter how careful I was. She said that there is sand in the air and it will get into the camera...and sometimes you can even hear a grating sound. So...I purchased a 5MP underwater camera for $50 on clearance and I think it took pretty darn good pictures. It was a slim digital camera with a waterproof case...heck I even took it on the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon and water was dumped on me...and to the beach and was in the water...it took pretty good pictures...and I didn't have to worry about my Rebel. So glad I did that.

Now I don't have to send my camera off for cleaning and have it all summer long for photos.
